Description

  The present invention relates to a window sill. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a window base that can be attached to a finding portion of a lower frame of an existing window.

  Pets like cats have the habit of lying in the space to get sunlight and ventilation when there is space in the lower frame of the window above the floor. However, in general, the prospect of the lower frame of a normal window that is not a bay window (length and depth in the direction from indoor to outdoor) is narrower than the size of the pet's body, so the pet's body is outside the lower frame. It sticks out and is uncomfortable for pets, and in some cases there is a risk of falling. In addition, if the prospect of the lower frame is narrow in this way, it is also conceivable that the pet puts his claws on the screen door, which breaks the screen door.

  In order to solve the above problems, conventionally, a space is configured by arranging a shelf at a predetermined height along a window (see Patent Document 1), and is easily attached to a window glass. A pet gazebo (see Patent Document 2) and the like that are provided with an auxiliary plate with a suction cup and a support column that can be used have been proposed.

JP 2002-194905 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-134956

  However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, when a shelf is attached to an existing window by reforming or the like, a leg that supports the shelf and a wand that fixes the shelf to the wall are necessary. In this case, the wand restricts usability of the space under the window and is obstructive, and it is necessary to provide a base for attaching the lower end of the wand in advance on the wall side. There is a problem that a screw hole or the like is formed not only on the lower frame of the window but also on the wall surface, and the screw hole or the like on the wall surface is particularly noticeable when the shelf is removed.

  Further, in the configuration of Patent Document 2, since the pet seat is attached to the glass surface of the window, it can be attached regardless of the window frame or the base of the wall. Even if you can get a view, you can't get ventilation. Moreover, fixing to the glass surface of a window only through a suction cup has poor support strength, and the viewing platform itself may fall. Moreover, although the structure which supported the seating stand supplementarily with the support | pillar is also disclosed, since the said support | pillar will protrude below the seating stand, it is not only a hindrance, but a housekeeper hooks a leg there. Furthermore, it is possible that the column is removed due to this, and the seating table itself is dropped due to this.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is possible to minimize the processing on the existing side by using the lower frame of the window, and to attach it firmly. Then, it aims at providing the window stand which can utilize not only upper space but lower space effectively.

  (1) In order to solve the above-described problem, a specific configuration of the present invention is a window base attached to a finding portion of a lower frame of a window provided at least at a position higher than the floor, and is installed from the finding portion of the lower frame. A plate-like base body that protrudes horizontally toward the inside; and an attachment member that fixes the base body and the lower frame. The attachment member has a height smaller than the thickness and width of the lower frame. A lower frame attaching part that has a width and is fixed to the finding part of the lower frame; and a horizontal attachment part that protrudes in the horizontal direction from the lower frame attaching part toward the indoor, And an engaging portion that engages with the lower frame mounting portion in a state of being in contact with the finding portion of the lower frame, and the lower frame mounting portion in a state in which the base body is installed on the lower frame In this state, at least the upper surface portion is covered with the base body.

  In the window base according to the present invention, since the base body is attached in a state of protruding from the lower frame of the window, it can be installed in front of the window regardless of opening / closing of the window. The pets that are in can gain ventilation. In addition, an attachment member is attached to the lower frame finding portion (a portion or a member that can be seen from the front (in the case of this specification, from the direction facing indoors to the outdoors)), and the base body engages with the attachment member. Since it is configured, it is only necessary to process the lower frame, and it is not necessary to process the wall surface below the window, and processing on the existing side can be minimized. Moreover, since the said window stand will be in the state connected with the lower frame via the part with a lower frame attachment, the downward direction of a base main body is made into the open state from the one side of the said base main body to the other side. be able to.

  In this window sill, it is preferable that the pedestal body includes an extension portion that covers an upper surface of the lower frame. With such an extension, a continuous horizontal plane is formed from the base body to the lower frame of the window, so there is no step and the vase etc. can be installed in a stable state. Become. Moreover, since the joint between the lower frame and the base body is covered with the extension, it is possible to prevent dust such as pet hair from accumulating at the joint.

  Moreover, the window base which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: It is preferable that the upper surface of the said base main body containing the said extension part is flush. According to this, only by attaching the base body, a flush surface that is continuous over the lower frame of the window is formed.

  Moreover, the window base which concerns on this invention WHEREIN: It is also preferable that the step part along the edge of the said base main body is formed. The step portion can function as a step that can hook a claw when a pet such as a cat jumps on or off the window stand, or a step that can prevent a vase from sliding down.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to minimize the processing on the existing side by using the lower frame of the window and to attach it firmly, and after installation, not only the upper space but also the lower space is effectively used. A window sill that can be done can be provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a window sill according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>
The window base 10 according to the present invention is a finding portion of the lower frame 2 of the existing window 1 that is at least higher than the floor (a surface portion that can be seen from the front (in the present specification, from the direction facing indoors to the outside)) 3 is provided so that it can be attached. The window base 10 of the present embodiment is configured to include a base body 20 and an attachment member 30 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

  The base body 20 is a plate-like member that projects horizontally from the finding portion 3 of the lower frame 2 toward the indoor (indoor) side, and can be retrofitted to the finding portion. In the present embodiment, the base body 20 is shown in which the indoor side edge 23 is formed in an arc shape (see FIG. 1), but the shape and size are not particularly limited. However, if the indoor edge 23 is curved as shown in the figure, it is possible to reduce the impact and reaction force concentration when a householder contacts or collides. Further, the thickness of the base body 20 is not particularly limited as long as it is at least thicker than the height (vertical thickness) of the mounting member 30. According to the base body 20 having a thickness larger than that of the attachment member 30, after the attachment to the finding portion, the attachment member 30 can be covered so that it cannot be visually recognized from the outside (see FIG. 2 and the like).

  The attachment member 30 is a member that fixes the base body 20 and the lower frame 2. Although the detailed structure and size of the attachment member 30 itself are not particularly limited, as described above, after the base body 20 is attached to the finding portion 3 of the lower frame 2, the attachment member 30 is covered so that it cannot be visually recognized from the outside. It is preferable to be in a broken state. In the present embodiment, the attachment member 30 has a structure including a lower frame attaching portion 31 and a horizontal attachment portion 32 (see FIG. 3).

  The lower frame mounting portion 31 has a height smaller than the thickness of the lower frame 2 (the vertical height of the finding portion) and is formed to have a width smaller than the horizontal width of the lower frame 2. For example, the thickness of the lower frame 2 is generally about 20 to 30 mm. Therefore, the height of the lower frame attaching portion 31 is set to a value smaller than this value. The lower frame attaching part 31 of this embodiment is plate-shaped (refer FIG. 2, FIG. 3), and the screw hole which can be utilized when it fixes to the lower frame 2 with a screw is provided.

  The horizontal attachment portion 32 is formed so as to protrude in the horizontal direction from the lower frame attachment portion 31 described above toward the indoor. More specifically, the horizontal attachment portion 32 of the present embodiment is formed of a plate-like member that protrudes in the horizontal direction from the lower frame attachment portion 31, and the lower frame attachment portion 31 protrudes from the middle in the vertical direction of the horizontal attachment portion 32. By doing so, the attachment member 30 has a T-shape when viewed from the side (see FIG. 3). Although not shown in detail, a bracket may be provided on the horizontal mounting portion 32 and the lower frame attaching portion 31 for reinforcement. Further, the horizontal direction here includes not only the complete horizontal direction but also those that are slightly inclined upward from the base end side of the lower frame attaching portion 31 toward the front end side.

  Further, the base body 20 is provided with a notch portion (engagement portion) 21 that engages with the lower frame attachment portion 31 on the surface of the lower frame 2 that faces the finding portion 3 (see FIG. 4). The notch 21 has a shape having an opening and a depth that can accommodate the lower frame attachment portion 31 (see FIG. 4), and the window base 10 is attached to the lower frame 2. In this state, the lower frame mounting portion 31 is engaged. Note that the term “engagement” here refers not only to a state in which at least a part of the notch (engagement part) 21 is in contact with the lower frame attaching part 31, but also to the notch (engagement part) 21. Includes a state in which a part or all of the lower frame attaching portion 31 is accommodated.

  Furthermore, a groove portion 22 that accommodates the horizontal attachment portion 32 is provided in the inner portion of the notch portion (engagement portion) 21 of the base body 20 (see FIG. 4). The width of the groove portion 22 is formed slightly smaller than the thickness of the horizontal mounting portion 32. As a result, a resistance due to a frictional force is generated between the horizontal mounting portion 32 and the groove portion 22 when accommodated in the groove portion 22, and the resistance can be a force that makes it difficult for the base body 20 after the mounting to be detached from the lower frame 2.

  The means for fixing the base body 20 to the mounting member 30 is not particularly limited. For example, in this embodiment, a screw or a screw penetrating the horizontal mounting portion 32 is driven from the bottom surface (back surface) of the base body 20 and fixed. Like to do. It is preferable to provide a small hole that functions as a guide that makes it easy to drive a screw or a screw, because a large play cannot be made and a screw or the like can be driven cleanly.

  In the window base 10 of the present embodiment described above, since the base body 20 is attached to the lower frame 2 of the window 1, whether the window 1 is open or closed, or what its opening / closing mechanism is. Regardless, it can be installed in front of the window 1 (see FIG. 1). According to this, a pet such as a cat can lie down to obtain solar radiation and ventilation, or a space on which ornamental plants and accessories can be placed can be formed later as desired by the householder (Fig. 5).

  Further, according to the window base 10 of the present embodiment, the attachment member 30 is fixed to the finding portion 3 of the lower frame 2, and the base body 20 is attached to the attachment member 30. Only the processing is required, the processing is not required for the wall surface below the window 1, and the processing on the existing side can be minimized. Moreover, in the case of such a structure, it is only necessary to first fix the mounting member 30 and then mount the base body 20, and it is not necessary to directly mount the base body 20 to the lower frame 2.

  Further, since the window base 10 can be supported in a cantilever state (cantilever state) by the lower frame 2 via the lower frame attaching portion 31, the lower side of the base body 20 is the base body 20. The door is open from one side to the other, allowing pets to pass under the window sill 10 and installing furniture such as a chest having a larger width than the window sill 10. Become.

  Moreover, in the state in which the said window base 10 was installed, the attachment member 30 will be in the state accommodated in the engagement or notch part of the base main body 20, and will be in the state which cannot be visually recognized from the outside (refer FIG. 2). That is, since the mounting member 30 is not exposed after the window base 10 is installed, the design is excellent.

<Second Embodiment>
In this embodiment, the extension part 24 is formed in the base main body 20 so that the upper surface of the lower frame 2 of the existing window 1 may be covered (refer FIG. 6, FIG. 7). The extension portion 24 is formed so that a part of the base body 20 extends in the outdoor direction, and forms a flat horizontal surface that extends from the base body 20 to the lower frame 2 of the window 1. Such a window stand 10 does not have a step on the upper surface, and can also function as a display shelf or a vase storage where an ornamental plant or a vase can be stably displayed. Moreover, since the joint between the lower frame 2 and the base body 20 is covered by the extension 24, it is possible to prevent dust such as pet hair from accumulating at the joint.

  The specific shape or the like of the extension 24 is not particularly limited, but the shape may be set according to the prospect of the lower frame 2 of the existing window 1 (length and depth in the direction from indoor to outdoor). If this is the case, processing other than the installation work is unnecessary and convenient. Further, when the lower frame 3 is provided with a box 5 incorporating a handle 4 for opening / closing the window 1 or a gear (see FIG. 2 etc.), the shape can be slid into the gap between the box 5 and the lower frame 2. A thickness extension 24 is also preferable.

<Third Embodiment>
In this embodiment, the step part 25 of the shape along the arc-shaped edge part 23 is formed in the upper surface of the base main body 20, for example (refer FIG. 8). The step portion 25 may be a concave portion (see FIG. 9) or a convex portion (see FIG. 10). Such a step portion 25 not only improves the appearance, but also can catch a claw when a pet such as a cat jumps on or off the window base 10 or prevents a vase from sliding down. It can also function as a possible member.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the attachment member 30 in which the lower frame attachment portion 31 and the horizontal attachment portion 32 are connected in a T-shape is illustrated (see FIG. 3 and the like). The part 31 and the horizontal attachment part 32 may be connected to form an L shape (see FIG. 11). Thus, when it becomes L shape, it can also be set as the attachment structure which mounts the base main body 20 in the seated state with respect to the horizontal attachment part 32, without providing a notch part as mentioned above, and cost reduction There is an advantage that it is easy to plan. When such an attachment member 30 and an attachment structure are employed, at least the upper surface portion of the lower frame attaching portion 31 can be covered with the base body 20.

  Further, although not particularly shown in the above-described embodiments and drawings, it goes without saying that the edges (edges) and corners of the edge 23 of the window base 10 can be appropriately rounded.

  In carrying out the present invention, the width of the window base 10 installed in the window 1 is not limited by the width of the window 1. For example, even when the window base 10 having a width about half the width of the window 1 is installed, the window base 10 is minimized while using the lower frame 2 of the window 1 as in the above-described embodiment. Can be firmly attached, and after attachment, not only the upper space but also the lower space can be used effectively.
